Analogys always fail, in one way or an other. In your the difference is that in the OSM, vote it was vote yes or leave. A such ultimatum does change how people vote. I think the old licence was better, or at least I think it was, but in the end that issue never been important enough to consider not mapping. There are at the moment no alternatives. Had not OSM existed mapping for a company like Waze probably even been good enough. My goal is a good map and I'm pragmatic about the mapping. > Your definition of democracy does not seem to accord with mine. Where > did you get it? The vote yes or leave, don't sound fully democratic to me. It's not a vote but a licence acceptance round. I can accept he new law but would probably votes no on a change, Because I think the change make more troubles that it saves us from. With than i can still accept the new terms to work. Voting and accepting a new licence is two differnt things. Can we get back to mapping now? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk3zGugACgkQtbR3SXmySrcTfwCggIgvSEJisRCo9zvb73MfA/BU D+QAnAmWkEzvEGptTkauBn4n1uUGUhGp =SZGY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
